The last week of October, my last week of full parental leave, Mike took off work as well, and we spent the week together. We ran errands, slept in and generally spent time enjoying being together and enjoying some of the lovely fall weather.
We went to Shenandoah on Tuesday, October 25. It was a gorgeous fall day with lots of lovely colors.
Here we are, getting ready to go!

On Wednesday, we went to Burke Lake and took a walk around the lake. The colors were really pretty.
The week was great! We spent lots of time together, just the three of us. And of course, we enjoyed lots of Jovie smiles!
LOVe all of these pics! great job getting out there and going for a hike!
